Samuel P. Huntington
Thus, biologically speaking the American people are literally only half an immigrant people.
Samuel P. Huntington

Samuel P. Huntington
When you mention the word ideology, everyone has communism in the back of their minds, which was an entirely well formulated ideology and statement of belief. You read the Communist Manifesto and you know what the core of it is.
Samuel P. Huntington
The core of the American set of beliefs has remained pretty constant.
Samuel P. Huntington
Also, of course, for most of this time most Americans thought of America as a white country with, at best, only a very segregated and subordinate role for blacks.
Samuel P. Huntington
The basis of association and antagonism among countries has changed over time.
Samuel P. Huntington
Except under rare circumstances, I don't write responses to criticism.
Samuel P. Huntington
U.S. foreign policy is in every area impacted by ethnic groups of one sort or another as well as economic groups and regional groups.
Samuel P. Huntington
People everywhere talk about Islam and the West. Presumably that has some relationship to reality, that these are entities that have some meaning and they do. Of course the core ofthat reality is differences in religion.
Samuel P. Huntington
If one of the drafters of the Declaration of Independence came back today, he would not be surprised about what Americans were saying and believing and articulating in their public statements. It would all sound rather familiar.
Samuel P. Huntington
Global politics remains extremely complex and countries have different interests, which will also lead them to make what might seem as rather bizarre friends and allies.
Samuel P. Huntington
